Striker Adebayo Akinfenwa has only been handed a place among the Northampton Town substitutes for this afternoon's clash against Bradford City in the final of the League Two playoffs at Wembley.

Manager Aidy Boothroyd has instead opted to start with Clive Platt, while Ishmel Demontagnac has been included in midfield.

Meanwhile, Bradford boss Phil Parkinson has selected the same side that overcame Burton Albion last time out.

Bradford: McLaughlin; Darby, McArdle, Davies, Meredith; Thompson, Jones, Doyle, Reid; Hanson, Wells

Northampton: Nicholls; Tozer, Carlisle, Cameron, Collins; Hackett, Harding, Guttridge, Demontagnac; O'Donovan, Platt
